Frequently Asked Questions on Residential Moving

You’ve taken the step to hire a packer, or a crew, to help with the process. Though it helps your move stay stress-free, there are a few simple things you can do before the packer arrives:

  • Clean and organize the items you want to bring with
  • Purge items and donate or sell
  • Indicate which items are of higher value
  • Use a sticker system to let your packer know which room is getting moved (or a specific item)
  • Prepare water and snacks, along with a clean bathroom.

Prices will vary depending on your destination and the number of items you’re bringing with. The question isn’t really the amount of square feet a home would have, but rather the amount of items it would contain. On average, a residential move can cost between $300 to $1500, and more local in nature.

On average, a 4-bedroom home that’s getting relocated a short distance will cost around $500 depending on the hourly price. Of course, this is just the price of moving without including any extra services such as packing, assembly, or disassembly.

The national average cost of packing services provided by your moving company is around $1,300. The amount will vary depending on the number of items you have and how far you are moving, all of which should be discussed as you’re gathering quotes.
